“Wonderful!”

Left on 08/21/2014 for a stay in July 2014 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Aug 21, 2014Stayed Jul 2014

First of all I would like to thank Julie, the owner, for all the excellent help and advice she gave me before and during our stay. Belles Palace is wonderful, it is more than home from home! It's just perfect in every way. The photos are great but the villa is even more stunning when you are there. We all loved the fabulous big comfortable beds, they were fit for a palace. There was nothing that hadn't been thought about. If you book this villa, you will have the most fabulous time and won't want to go home!

“Family Disney Experience”

Julie,
Your home is very beautiful and fullfilled our large families needs. We loved that we were so close to all the major parks but also felt far enough away from all the heavy traffic areas. We did have a small issue with the dryer but Lee took care of it immediately. The one problem we had was with the temperature of hot tub. It was not hot and we found it at a temperature that we are not accustom to in the north. Normally you see steam on the surface. We noticed that when the pool pump shut off we could feel cooler water fill into the hot tub.
The hot tub was one feature we all were looking forward to. The hot tub at the clubhouse was used more since we found it to be at a temperature of what we are used to.
All in all this was a good experience and we thank you for allowing us to vacation in your home.

I am so happy to read you all had a good vacation :)
The pool and spa at the house both heat from the same pool heater unit. Heat runs into the pool unless the spa is switched on at that point the heat diverts from the pool to the spa and back to the pool when spa stops running.
Thank you for being great guests & hope you return again one day.
Julie x

“Awesome!”

Left on 04/02/2014 for a stay in March 2014 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Apr 2, 2014Stayed Mar 2014

Just returned from a wonderful stay at this home. My daughter is the one to find this home and I'm glad she did. We had a group of 8 adults and 5 children who stayed here. The home was more than accommodating for all of us. The house looked just like what you see in the pictures and video. Disney parks were a short drive away. Julie the owner was very responsive in making our booking smooth. We would all like to stay here again on a future trip. I have told many of my friends about our great stay at Belles Palace!

Thank you for reviewing your family vacation I really appreciate it. Please tell your daughter she has excellent taste :)
I am so glad you all enjoyed your stay and hopefully will be returning again.
All the best Julie x

“Everything was as described”

Left on 03/08/2014 for a stay in February 2014 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Mar 8, 2014Stayed Feb 2014

Sometimes you buy something that looks good in pictures and the reality is much different than the images...not here, it was described to a tee.
The house was great, it was really that close to disney, it was clean and the owner is very thorough in the details which is great. I'd love to go back . The price was fair...it made our vacation. Thanks, Julie

“Great Stay.”

Left on 12/30/2013 for a stay in December 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Dec 30, 2013Stayed Dec 2013

We really enjoyed our stay at Belles Palace.This was our first visit to Florida and the villa lived up to our expectations it was well appointed and very clean, ideally situated for all the Disney attractions.
The pool area was great and we also enjoyed the use of the games room which had a pool table and soccer game. The proximity of a shop/club house with a larger pool and a takeaway was a bonus, making it an ideal venue for families.

“Great Villa well appointed”

Left on 12/27/2013 for a stay in November 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Dec 27, 2013Stayed Nov 2013

Ist visit to Florida.This villa came highly recommended and lived up to our expectations. The heated pool and the outdoor area were very well maintained. All home comforts, well equipped kitchen and lots of space in all rooms. The five of us enjoyed the games room for evening entertainment when we returned from our excursions to Disney etc.

“Magical Disney December”

Left on 12/19/2013 for a stay in December 2013 | DianeReviewed Dec 19, 2013Stayed Dec 2013

This was my first visit to Florida and the Disney experience.Belles Palace was recommended by friends and there was no disappointment in the choice. From the first contact with Julie we knew we were in safe hands. Nothing was too much trouble and the property proved to more than live up to the online information we had seen. Being only a short drive from the main Parks we spent little time travelling and more time enjoying the Disney Magic. The on site Club House was an added advantage, the shop providing those forgotten items and at reasonable prices too!!
Belles Palace felt like home from home, it was great to be able to come back after a long day in the Parks to relax by the pool, or enjoy a different pool challenge in the games room!! Even the chores seemed not to be to taxing in this wonderful environment!!
Thank you Julie for making my first taste of Florida a very Happy Experience.

Diane, thank you for taking the time to write a review, I really appreciate it. I am glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Belle's.
Kindest regards & thank you for being wonderful guests. Julie

“Exceeded high expectations”

Left on 12/08/2013 for a stay in November 2013 | alan85aaReviewed Dec 8, 2013Stayed Nov 2013

We stayed at Belles Palace for one week in November and had an amazing time. Having read previous reviews on Trip advisor, we had high hopes that the house would meet the needs of our 9 family members, from 7 to 93 years of age. It not only met the needs of everyone, it exceeded them. The beds were very comfortable, the common areas were spacious and well appointed, and the activities (pool/hot tub, game room) were a huge hit. The property was about 10 minutes away from Disney and very convenient to shops, restaurants and Disney.
Julie was extremely helpful and attentive to all our needs. Not only did she make the rental process very simple, but she went out of her way to meet our special request. We could not have been more pleased with this rental property.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. Happy to hear everyone enjoyed their stay. You & your family were wonderful guests. Kindest regards & Best wishes Julie.

“Perfect Florida Vacation home!”

Left on 11/22/2013 for a stay in November 2013 | KristaReviewed Nov 22, 2013Stayed Nov 2013

We recently stayed at Belle's Palace with our 2 year old daughter. We had a fantastic stay. Julie was excellent to deal with and very easy to reach by email. She was very accommodating and was prompt to answer any of our questions. We had an amazing week at this house. The house was beautiful and very clean. We loved the pool and the close proximity to the club house. It was very close to Disney and other shops and restaurants. We would definitely return for another stay at this house.

Thank you so much Krista for taking the time to leave a review of your stay. I am very happy to hear you enjoyed your vacation at the house and would love for you & your family to return to Belle's again someday.
All the best Julie.

“Top notch property - perfect for extended family getaway!”

Left on 11/15/2013 for a stay in October 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Nov 15, 2013Stayed Oct 2013

I took my family as well as in-laws to Belle's Palace for a fall break vacation to Disney and Islands of adventure. We had 14 people in the house at times with no complaints. Kids loved the themed rooms and we all enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub at the end of long days of walking the parks. The master king suite had a very comfortable mattress and everyone enjoyed the shower and tub in the master bath. The house is very close to the clubhouse as well, so the movie theatre was right behind the house, along with other amenities. The timers on the ceiling fans in bedrooms upstairs were hard to get used to during the night, but overall no complaints. The home was as advertised, very clean, well stocked, and exactly what I had expected. Julie was a great host and quickly responded to any concerns we had during our stay. Highly recommend this property!

It is always a real pleasure to hear my guests enjoyed their stay, thank you for taking the time to write the review.
Great to hear you all had a movie night over at the clubhouse, my family also love a family movie we take our own popcorn. There are 3 showing per day, (some in 3D) but if nobody else has made a request you can pick your own movie. With only 58 seats, sometimes you can have the whole theatre to yourself, best of all its free.
All the very best, Julie.
